Parameter Description
Gap
Set the end-face gap between the left and right fibers at the
time of aligning and pre-fusion discharge.
Overlape
Set the overlap amount of fibers at the fiber propelling stage.
Relatively small [Overlap] is recommended if [Preheat Arc
Value] is low, while relatively large [Overlap] is recommended
if [Preheat Arc Value] is high.
Cleaning Arc time
A cleaning arc burns out micro dust on the surface of
the fiber with an arc discharge for a short period of time.
The duration of the cleaning arc can be changed by this
parameter.
Preheat Arc value
Set the pre-fuse arc power from the beginning of arc
discharging to the beginning of fibers propelling. If “Preheat
Arc Value” is set too low, axial offset may occur if cleaved
angles are relatively poor. If “Preheat Arc Value” is set too
high, fiber end faces are fused excessively and splice loss
gets worse.
Preheat Arc time
Set the pre-fuse arc time from the beginning of arc
discharging to the beginning of fibers propelling. Long
[Preheat Arc Time] and high [Preheat Arc Value] lead to the
same results.
Fuse Arc value Set Arc power.
Fuse Arc time Set Arc time.
